I did it purely so that I can see whether or not my brake indicator is causing the squeel.

Its all about personal preference but I really did it to show that you can put stock wheels on and have no issues with fitment, its all about my motto, think smarter, not harder.

Let me know if you end up getting these and if they fit. If so, I'm gonna buy them from here as well!

91-96 NSX front calipers will work with our cars, not the 97 and up, they changed the size of the rotor as well as the size of the caliper.

The nsx calipers seem hard to find atm. I ordered from the site i linked and got called the next day saying "sorry the calipers aren't available anymore." I might have to just get the legend ones instead. Id rather get the wilwood kit but i was told id need 15mm spacers to get it to fit on the stock rims. i have other wheels but need to use stocks for winter. Id rather not have to swap brakes when i swap wheels.

I just ordered these from the link Brian posted. Couple of questions:

1. Did you guys ship your CL cores back and if so were there any problems doing so? If I lose the money on the core exchange it's not the end of the world as the benefit would outweigh the loss.

2. Are you guys running a different kind of brake fluid since it heats up more with the dual piston setup?

I walked my OEMs into the Advanced store when I did my Legends and the guy did not even open the package to verify. For the price you are getting those NSX calipers for, that's a great deal even at $80 or so. Roll the dice and send the OEMs back, monitor for the core credit, 50/50 chance you'll get.

I just used regular Honda OEM fluid.

Thanks I'll send em back. For the fluid I thought I heard somewhere that someone was using a different type of DOT fluid for this upgrade. OEM it is.

Id stick with DOT3 fluid. DOT4 and 5, while technically better fluids, could wreak havoc on the seals.
